DUer men of a certain age. Laraine Newman, Jane Curtin, Gilda Radner, completely HOT!

[RomneyLies]

If you were like me, you went through puberty watching the original SNL cast.

These women were completely HOT!

They were brilliant, beautiful, and there was so much more than their outward beauty. They demonstrated far much more than that. Their talent was incredible, their intelligence was superb. They shaped my formative years in ways the super star actresses of their time never could have.

I waited all week to watch SNL starting in '75. These women were what I looked forward to every week.

They could stimulate FAR MORE than my mere adolescent libido. They always stimulated my mind, and there is NOTHING more HOT than that.

[question everything]

1. Poor Gilda Radner died too young from ovarian cancer

I've recently heard that a center for ovarian cancer that was named after her got a name change because.... her name does not mean much for many these days.

Her Roseanne Rosanadana and Emily Litella will always be classic.

5. my wife was upset by this news. She wasn't able to see first run episodes

she was just a toddler BUT she admired these women and is in fact collecting what see refers to as the "Golden Age of SNL" 75-80 or something like that.

19. Oh, no! That breaks my heart all over again.

She will always be one of my s/heroes.

2. Yes, Ms. Newman, please allow me to take you to dinner after the show...

Or at least a cocktail or two.

4. Jnae Curtin always did it for me.

Oh man, the week she was hired by a Gilda character for housekeeping training in S&M

Be still my heart.

Gilda, Jane, Laraine and Candice Bergen dressed as elves singing backup.

9. This is beautiful! From the first year - has to be

with Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, Belushi and Garret Morris

Bergen probably was a guest. I don't know that she was ever a regular.

10. Episode #8

And it was already her second time hosting, having hosted #4!

7. Gilda Radner was awesome.

hysterically funny, and cute too.

[Denninmi]

8. Completely agree.

I remember seeing some of the original shows - skits like New Shimmer, Quarry Cereal. They were the best.

11. "Chevy's Girls"

TV Guide had Gilda, Jane and Lorraine on the cover together in a 3-shot and apparently to capitalize on Chevy Chase's breakout success titled it "Chevy's Girls." The next show they did a skit where they opened up on a shot of the TV Guide cover and dissolved to a live shot of the three singing this fawning song about Chevy Chase:
(I'm sure if someone looks a little harder than me they'll locate a link to the real skit; this is just a still shot with the audio)

[question everything]

16. I watched SNL during the 70s and then left it alone

Got back in 2008 for the great skits during the presidential elections.

I admit, while I could recognize Gilda, Jane and Laraine, and, in 2008 Amy Poehler, Tina Fey and Kristen Wiig, I am unable to recognize any of the other ladies. They just don't register.

12. For some strange reason ...

I find funny women to be very, very sexy.

[Faygo Kid]

13. I went through puberty with crushes on Samantha and Ellie May

Sure loved the SNL ladies, but well past puberty at that point.

[OriginalGeek]

14. I had them in re-runs

and SNL in real time. Love them all.

[Frosty1]

15. We were all hot back in the seventies

Only now my heat only comes in flashes!
